Dog Walking Riverdale

“Liliana was awesome with our yorkie, Champy. She walked him and sent lots of great pictures. She was even able to give meds. I would certainly reach out in the future for dog walking and boarding needs.”

“Shelly is so great! We were lucky to have the former owners of our place recommend her during our closing. What a relief to not have to search for a new walker. Shelly is communicative, professional, and flexible. Our work schedules vary from week to week and we've been able to find times that work for everyone. Our Lucy is comfortable with her and we don't have to rush home or worry. Very pleased!”

“Jacob walked our two big kids Maggie & Milo for 6 days and put up with all their pulling and stubbornness. We could not have asked for a friendlier, more conscientious or patient person to deal with these two critters. I'm giving Jacob 5 stars and my strongest recommendation to anyone looking for an A+ walker.”

Richard W.

“Always happy to have Tosha take care of my pup. She’s incredibly responsive and sends me little updates of how my pup is doing. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!”

Nicole S.

“Bianca took great care of Milo and helped last minute I really appreciate that”

About: My family has had big dogs my whole life; I have trained puppies as well as cared for elderly sick dogs. I have dog-sat for friends and family and have experience handling rowdy and excitable dogs. I can adjust my schedule to the needs of your baby, I am used to walking three times a day or equivalent throughout the week. I also take my dog on longer hikes during the weekend. I will follow the rules of the house I am in and what the parent of the pet has set for the pet and I.

About: I have 6 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive with feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like my own. I currently have full time availability to be able to pet sit while also help with any and all of your pet needs. . . I’m reliable, patient, and attentive with feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like my own.

About: I've spent the past two years in the dog care industry, working for an all-natural dog food company where I learned firsthand how nutrition, routine, and attentive care shape a dog's health and happiness. That experience taught me to pay close attention to the small things — appetite changes, energy levels, individual quirks — that make every dog unique. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and my own Yorkie is my best friend. Caring for her has taught me just how much patient, loving, attentive care matters, and it's exactly what I want to bring to every dog I look after. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding, and I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want mine treated: with patience, consistency, and a lot of affection. Whether it's a quick walk, a weekend of boarding, or holding down the fort while you're away, I'll send photos and updates so you always know your pup is safe, comfortable, and loved. I am self-employed annd work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I take my dog on a long walk in Van Cortlandt in the morning and then usually do two more shorter walks throughout the day. I am happy to try to accommodate your schedule the best I can. I live in a pet friendly apartment in Riverdale that is right next to multiple parks. If I ever have to leave a dog in home by themselves I will always make sure calming music is playing, the place is at a comfortable temperature, and there is light.

“Thank u so much for walking my puppy since my walker had to cancel last minute. You were so wonderful with being flexible and also waiting until someone got home so u can walk Jesse.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Katie communicated when she picked up and dropped off my dog. I was able to watch pick up/drop off via my Ring cameras and she was kind to my pup and he seemed to immediately take a liking to her! I would recommend her to walk your dog! Thanks Katie:)”

Kourtney S.

“Thank you for the attention to Elvis.”

Rob S.

About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.

About: For the past 4 years I have worked with dogs in various capacities from walking, to bathing to training. My role as a doggie daycare handler provides me with constant exposure to dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments meaning no matter how big or small or excited or silly I can handle your pup. My background in training means I can provide your pup with structured care tailored to their needs. I’m currently working part-time, but have more than enough time or you and your pet. I have more free time on the weekdays, but may have time on select weekends or at night. I will dedicate my time to ensuring your pups needs are met whether that be feeding, walking or bathing. As I’ll be stepping into their home environment I’ll be sure to show your dog respect and patience as they get to know me.

About: I've worked at a doggy daycare where I walked, fed, bathed, and cleaned up after 20-45 dogs daily. I have 2 cats of my own at home: Autumn and Thor, both 10 years old. My schedule this semester allows me to walk/take care of your dog for up to 5 days per week. I’m free on weekends, so feel free to reach out! When I take care of your dog or cat in your home, it is important to me that our they are well fed and get lots of attention and affection!

About: I have had pets since I was a child, I have extensive background dealing with and training small and large dogs. I have a fur baby of my own (a white and brown havenese) and love meeting new puppies/dogs. I live in Bedstuy and my apartment is dog friendly; I also have a great park nearby for lots of outdoor playtime. The dog park is also within that park which my dog loves very much. I have a lot of free time as I’m working as a real estate professional, and love making organic doggie treats for my own pup. I can host dogs at my place for more than a week as well as offer drop in service at your home. I look forward to meeting your best friend!
